Well... i can't remember how old i am, but there's a sixty in the equation tonight.  Bremen is cool, but i felt like being alone in the new home.  Since no one's awake, we'll shake it up a bit.  Here's a friend of mine singing about a Century of the Blues, though i'm not sure what century he's talking about.  The drummer was my friend in the old Woodstock days.

then here's a clip from a friend from the old San Francisco days, be careful, like today's times, it gets dark before it wakes up.

And here's who's on my mind, my son

You may not like the USA country pop (to your ears, but this is not country pop), but since it's my birthday, i'll play it anyway, as it's a vision song that has propelled me through many board meetings in endangered wood paneled rooms.

And here's the most emotional analysis of today's crisis
"There's a barn burnin' baby
and i can't say who's to blame...
there's an evil in this land...
well the rich get richer..
and the poor, they just stay poor.

Not bad for birthday thoughts, oder?

I've already posted this, but it's my birthday, and i would like to believe that many of the word's best economists wish they could have a drunkard's dream.  From my favorite band, otherwise known as the band

My fingers don't even fit they kewyboard, so thanks all.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!!! und alles Gute und viel Erfolg im neuen Lebensjahr.

Btw. the other day I saw this for December 4th:

Crazy Horse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crazy Horse (Lakota: Thašuŋka Witko, literally "His-Horse-is-Crazy")  1840 - September 5,) was a respected war leader of the Oglala Lakota, who fought against the U.S. federal government in an effort to preserve the traditions and values of the Lakota way of life.

Wanted to post it then, wondering if you are hiding your true age from us :-)

What strikes me most about this remarkable man is a concept he is reputed to have developed, called Itanka.  It means, my people first.

Crazy Horse: but there's a sixty in the equation tonight.

What is the ancient Lakota secret that keeps you looking so great at one-hundred and sixty-eight?
